Prarancangan Pabrik Etilen Glikol Dari Etilen Oksida Menggunakan Proses Dow Meteor Dengan Disain Alat Utama Reaktor Cstr
ABSTRACT
Ethylene glycol is a hygroscopic liquid with low volatility. Ethylene glycol is
colorless, odorless, has a low viscosity. Ethylene glycol is used as a polyester
resin for fibers, a film-making agent, an antifreeze and coolant agent, a heat
exchange agent, a water-based formula, and an unsaturated polyester. The
purpose of establishing an ethylene glycol factory is expected to be able to
support efforts to save the country's foreign exchange through import substitution
of ethylene glycol, and increase employment. Ethylene glycol factory with a
capacity of 200,000 tons / year in Batam, Riau Islands. The ethylene glycol
production process is carried out through the Dow METEOR process which
consists of 4 stages, namely the standard discussion stage, the ethylene glycol
formation stage, the ethylene glycol concentration stage, and the product
separation stage. The main design is the CSTR reactor, which is used to react
ethylene oxide with water to form ethylene glycol with the by-products of
diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol. Based on the results of the economic
feasibility analysis of the factory, the ethylene glycol plant is feasible to establish
with a Payback Period (PBB) obtained of 2 years, an IRR of 22.738%, a Percent
Return on Investment (ROI) is 30.59%, and a Break Event Point (BEP) is
obtained by 60%.
